Kelly Brooke Howard has been a professional potter for 20 years. Her formal training began while attending Converse College in Spartanburg, SC. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in Ceramics in 1998. Kelly further broadened her knowledge of art and ceramics by attending intensive courses at the Penland School of Crafts studying iron and ceramics.

All of Kelly’s unique handmade pottery is wheel thrown and/or hand built from a North Carolina porcelain clay body. She uses a centuries old embossed style of surface decoration known as sprigging where she applies hand carved dragonflies and flowers individually to the leather hardened pots. All of the work is very durable, food safe, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
